> I’d argue this is more the result of capitalism Not science

I can agree with that, can you agree that:

  • science is a pre-requisite to make it happen?

  • the scientific community is not well known for saying (because they do not say it) that their work is producing harm because much of their work is conducted under capitalism?

Science is not a pre-requisite to capitalism.

All work is in the capitalist system right now science included, but that’s not a fault of science.

Science is as often stifled by capitalism as it is financed

Oh my.

Are harmful things that science contributed to the fault of science?

If capitalism can be guilty of things, why can science not be guilty of things?

Perhaps (you're welcome to show your work), but this is orthogonal to whether science causes harm.

Science is a method.

Capitalism is a system.

Any method used within a system is tinted by it.
